5G iPod resetting when in iPod HiFi

Hi,
my 5G iPod (60G) works just fine, only when plugged into the HiFi, it is resetting in the middle of playlists or podcasts. It not always the same song or podcast, next time same title may do allright.
It occurs with Large Cover Art Active and Deactivated.
Any ideas??
Thank you
Tomm

Every time I put my 3G iPod in its dock it makes the beeps that you're talking about. Recently, I bought one of the universal docks so I could have one at home and at work. This dock is quiet when I put the iPod on it. So the beeps you hear sound normal to me, I'm just not sure why you would hear it only sometimes. If your 5G fits fine I would just say use it.

Ipod resets when selecting certain mp3 files

my ipod video 5th generation resets when selecting certain mp3 files ???? As well as certain video podcasts . Whats the deal anyone ?

Is Apple working on a "real" fix for this bug or do we have to live with limited use of our iPod resources?
No one on here really knows (the creators of the programs and software do not visit the Discussions), but Apple could possibly provide a fix in the future. It may not be very "high on their list" of iPod feedback requests of new features, and bug fixes, though, since this isn't an incredibly common problem.
If you'd like to add the the voices and tell Apple about this issue, let them know here on their feedback form: iPod Feedback

IPod resets when playing movie

So I just picked up my Composite AV Cable for iPod Classic and tried to use it to play a movie (Shaun of the Dead) that I had converted with Handbrake for iPod format. This movie has been on my iPod for a while and I've had no problem playing it before. But now that I've connected the Composite AV Cable, the iPod will reset when I select to play Shaun of the Dead, regardless if the cable is connected or not. Other movies & TV shows (purchased from iTunes, ripped from DVDs, and recorded & exported with EyeTV) work fine. The only difference with Shaun of the Dead is that it doesn't have chapter markers. Is there an issue with iPod Classic & the Composite AV Cable playing movies of a certain length without chapter markers?

What kind of movies are they? Did you download them from iTunes store, or what? Did you have to convert these movies to a format compatible with your iPod? You need to be more specific. If you had to convert your files, then something could've gone wrong with that. Too many variables here. Need more info.

My Ipod Nano, when connected to HiFi thru RCA cable, cuts out until I disconnect and restart.

My Ipod nano, when connected to HiFi thru RCA cable, cuts out until I disconnect it and start again.

have u used the CD that came with the iPod because that does a lot for helping with reconization of the iPod.
but your biggest problem is that your using a Pentium not mention Windows and Acer! are you that cheap???
I'm going to get an iBook G4 buy December because their cooler processors(don't say a thing about speed because that would make you technologically challenged) and their wonderful OS that doesn't crash unless you find a way to make it and reliable software.

Ipod resets when using it

My 30 gig 5G ipod random resets when im in shuffle or skipping through songs in my song list. It does it randomly, like right after a new song comes up, it'll reset. I'm not sure, but I looks like its different songs that come up, so i dont think its the song itself. Please help.

I saw this stuff about turining off the EQ in order to solve the problem when in some songs the iPod reset itself.... It works!!!! That's the good news... the bad news... this answer *****!!!! C'mon guys, Apple users deserve more than this!!!!
All begun when I upgrade my iPod to the 1.2 version... Pls guys, if you are one of this few people that you are not upgrade it to the last version.... dont do it!!!
Wait until 1.3.... or at least a minor release 1.2.X
Wow... Im a PC user converted to a MAC one... but I never tought that this kind of ¨bugs¨ happen in this world!!! I'd to see it to belive it

My ipod won't charge on the ipod hifi

hello,
hope some-one here can help me
I have a 60gb video ipod and when I dock it on my ipod hifi it doesn't charge. The hifi is plugged into the wall and I have reset my ipod twice after reading that tip here on these forums, but still no luck! anyone have any other ideas that I could try out ? thanks very much if you can,
cheers,
ellis

hi Mitch,
thanks for replying.
my ipod plays beautifully in the hifi, but it won't charge. I tried your solution but no luck. not sure what is wrong. I just moved to hong kong a week ago. my ipod was bought in the us and the hifi here, but i guess that should make no difference really . the other thing that is wierd is that when i connect my computer wirelessly to the hifi is that it plays but cuts out continuosly for a few seconds then continues to play . the song actually stops so there is no "gap" jst picks up where it left off. this is kind of annoying too and I can't find a fix. if you have anyy ideas on this one too that would be great.
cheers

No Internet signal with 2 Airport express' & Ipod Hifi

My Airport express connects with a router and gives a wireless signal all over the house. The 2nd airport express (less than 50'ft. away connects to an Ipod Hifi. The 2nd airport blinks yellow and won't allow me to go onto the internet (ie radio streaming) while I am playing my Itunes thru the Ipod hifi successfully. Also, the 1st Airport is a soid green coIor.Why do I lose the internet signal when the Hifi is playing my Itunes library? I thought the 2nd airport just becomes a part of a network which is how it's setup under the Airport Admin. Utility? What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help...Henry

my question is if they are set up to extend my network will my devices like iPhone, iPad, iPod all switch to the strongest available wifi? my set up as follows.
A newer Mac computer will automatically switch to the strongest wireless access point as it roams about the house, but unfortuntely the iOS operating system used in the iPhone, iPad, iPod etc. is not as sophisticated and will usually not switch automatically to another access point.
You will likely find that you need to power off the iOS device when you move to another area and power it back up to get it to pick up the strongest access point. Or, you would switch off the Wireless on the iOS device and then switch it back on when the device moves to another area.

IPod Hifi as Home Cinema Speakers!! Opinion anyone ?

Ok theres no surround sound option but I wanted to do a quick test with a new LCD projector I bought. I hooked it up to a DVD and then the sound went straight from the DVD player to the input socket on the back of the iPod HIFI and to be honest I was listening to it and thinking **** this is really good sound!! now I'm the first to admit that I am obviously not a complete freak when it comes to sound and as long as it sounds okay to me then thats all that matters. I just wanted to hear other peoples views on using the iPod Hifi as a home cinema solution (minus the surround sound part!!!)

Starfrog, I think you've answered your own question already. You tried it, liked it, and profess not to be a sound freak, so stick with it. you could have hundreds of purists tell you it's no good, but at the end of the day, it works for you and that's all that matters.
The sound is great, I love mine and am glad to finally be rid of the tiny, tinny little stopgaps that preceded this unit - but I wont be replacing my home theater speaker setup with the HiFi.

IMac connection to Ipod Hifi

Ipod Hifi perfectly working with my Ipod but... but no sound when connecting my Imac to my Ipod Hifi with an optical cable (Mini toslink at both end).
No solution found with the guys from the Apple store....
Do you have a solution?

Have you read this?
How do I switch playback from an iPod to a device connected to the audio input port?
If you have an iPod connected to the dock connector port and a different audio device connected to the audio input port you can select between the playback of these two devices by press and holding the Menu button on the remote.

DVD optical cable to iPod HiFi sputtering

I recently bought a new DVD player with optical output. I bought an optical cable to connect it to my iPod HiFi. However the only audio that emerges is this bizzare sputtering, like a tiny engine or something - "pff pff pff pff pff pff pff", etc. I'm new to the world of optical connections. Any guidance as to what this problem could be?
Standard RCA to miniplug works fine, but I really wanted to try this optical hookup thing.

The thing is that, even though iPod HiFi does have optical input, it does not have integrated digital decoder for multi-channel signal decoding. To put it in a few words, DVD audio is usually Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1/6.1/7.1. This is not possible to listen on iPod HiFi because it does not understand that complex signal and cannot translate it to analog audio output it supports, hence the digital buzzing sound you hear when you connect a digital optical source. Try playing a DVD with your Mac’s DVD Player app and change the sound output format from analog to digital when connected to iPod HiFi by optical cable and you will hear what I am trying to explain.

IPod HiFi A1121 power supply unit

Hi there,
I have an iPod HiFi A1121 and am aware it is discontinued. My power supply unit is the problem with mine, but due to the fact it seems quite complex and there are 3 different output wattages on it, it doesn't seem to be something I can just find a similar one of. Does anyone have a broken HiFi that they are prepared to part with, or does anyone know of anywhere I might be able to find a power supply unit from that would enable me to use my HiFi? It works on battery power and my friend has an adapter, that allows mains usage, but it means it will only play music to the same level as with batteries. Pleeeeeaassee could someone help me with any information? Thanks very much

Thanks!
Interesting, this "Piggy back power adapter" will allow me to plug the fan into one of the ATA/IDE cables? Or do you mean the extra port on the power supply? (it has one plug for the outlet>G4, then another to support something like a monitor or similar) The G4 has a DVD burner, but no ZIP drive, so this is quite do-able if it uses the ATA power.
When you say "lower rear", do you mean at the bottom? Below the power supply, to the right of the PCI slots? If so, this is the inflow for the CPU fan! I can understand mounting it outside the current outflow-vent for the dead power supply fan, although I'm not sure the best way to proceed with attaching the fan.
Another question: what tools and supplies will I need? I may need to remove the plastic cover on the back of the G4 - the one that is outside the power supply - as there's a gap between the gray plastic and metal chassis that lets air from outside the machine come in. The screws for this cover use a funky, hexagonal screwdriver. If I need to take this cover off, what kind of screwdriver will I need? Also, should the fan not include screws/etc, what's the best method to attach it? Glue?
Secondly, to cut a hole in the G4, will I need some variety of drill? I don't have one, so i'll have to borrow one... Since there's nothing in the ZIP slot, I can run a cable out through here (assuming it's long enough), and make a new bezel to keep the airflow inside intact.
Ah! One other (somewhat related) question: my USB 2 card includes a power adapter, for use when several un-powered devices (flash drives) are attached. It works just fine with a flash drive and a small media reader, but it's slow to sense the drives - I think it's low on power. Unfortunately, this power plug uses the same variety of plug as the floppy disk drives found on many win-boxes - of which the G4 possesses none. Is there an adapter/cable for this purpose?
Thanks, this is a HUGE help, I appreciate it.

MBP with IPod HiFi and Optical Cable Problem??

Hey guys, I just picked up a Hifi and was hoping to use it with my macbook pro. When I hook up a normal 3.5mm jack into the hifi's input it works, but when I use an optical cable it does not. Using the volume keys on my mbp bring up the normal Volume icon on-screen but there is a small circle with a line through it just below. Also, in the system preferences, under Sound and Output it says "The selected device has no output controls"
Any ideas? Can it work with optical cables? I can always use a traditional 3.5mm jack but would prefer the optical
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

It works in my case, I am now playing a song on my Itunes from my computer's optical out (G5 Tower) to iPod HiFi via a digital optical cable
Connect external speakers, headphones, or optical digital audio equipment. The headphone / line output jack accommodates optical digital audio output, analog audio output with a 24-bit, 44.1-192 kHz D/A converter, digital audio output up to 24-bit stereo and 44.1-192 kHz sampling rate and supporting encoded digital audio output (AC3 and DTS). For analog headphone / line output a standard audio cable with 3.5mm metal plug should be used. For digital audio, a standard toslink cable with a toslink mini-plug adapter can be used.
Open System Reference, sound, then output, in the box of choose a device for sound output , do you see the digital out, optical digital-out port?
Make sure out the output volume, the mute box is unchecked.
Regarding, the volume key on the computer is disable when your are using the optical output

IPod HIFI and MacBookPro VolumeOutput very low

Hello,
I bought tne IPod Hifi to use it in presentations as an audiooutputdevice.
I have a small mediacompany and I think that my customers have to hear the sound I made in good and "loud" quality.
So the IPod Hifi works great with the IPod. Good soundquality and loudness... but when I connect my MacBook Pro to the IPod Hifi via minijack cables, the sound is lowerd abaout 3/4. That´s very bad.... In my first presentation the guys looked very suprised.... I come with this fat and big sounddevice and the output is very low... I just expected the same amount of loudness as it puts out with the IPod... but as I told only 1/4 of the volume in comparison to the IPod came out.
So are there any sugestions? (I put the audiolevel on my macbook up at full range)
Thanks for u´r help.

I'm back now.

Ipod nano 4th + ipod hifi

It just arrived my last ipod nano 4th
When I put on ipod HIFI a message say " No charge firewire"
I have another ipod classic 160 gb that no accept firewire charge, and when I put it on ipodhifi it charge OK.
What's happen with the nano? Why don't charge?

Until the iPhone 3G, 2nd Generation Touch, and the 4th Generation Nano you could still charge an iPod through the Firewire pin. With the ones I just listed there is not charging through the FW pins and the HiFi used this method to charge. There is an adapter you can order to allow charging:

IPod HiFi volume problems

I just moved my HiFi into a different room and now it only plays at a very high volume. When I try to lower the volume, remote and on the box, the light flashes orange and eventually just mutes. Then the up volume flashes green and it comes back to a very high volume. Any help?

Disconnect the ac power cord of the iPod HiFi for 30 minutes and also take off the battery inside the iPod HiFi. See if it helps.
Have you tried to connect other device e.g. CD players and connect it on the back of the iPod HiFi? See what happens....

Ipod HiFi using Airport Express

Anything I can do to eliminate distortion when I play songs from my computer via Airport Express on my Ipod HiFi? I've tried adjusting the volume, but songs still sound distorted; they get worse if I crank up the volume.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

first, make sure you play the same music file on your computer without any distortion, if yes check the EQ setting on your iTunes. Then recheck the following:-
1. Are you using the optical cable from airport express to iPod HiFi or analogue minijack cable?, see change the type of cable help.
2. Check your cable and make sure it is not a faulty one
3. Is the signal of your airport express is strong enough?
4. Make sure you plug tight enough on output of airport express and input of iPod HiFi
5. Disconnecting your iPod HiFi for 15 minutes and try again
